You have 1 seat left on a flight, and you have 5 passengers waiting on standby, a military man in uniform, a pregnant woman, a woman and her infant child, an elite customer(one who is a frequent flyer of NWA), and a gentleman trying to go an see his ill sister. Who will be the one to get the empty seat on the flight, and why?

Not the pregnant woman, if she may be in fear of labour, it would be best she delay her flight not hurry-up and get on.
Not the woman with infant because there is no priority here except being polite perhaps. Same with the man visiting his ill sister (didn't say it was life/death situation)
It is true that NWA gives preference to the frequent flyers and would normally be the one to get the seat
HOWEVER
the Military man, IF he is on active duty and believes there is a threat to the aircraft and/or may involve National Security (which may in-effect mean life or death) would get the seat-
I believe that post-911 this supersedes ALL normal procedures at any US airport or may or may now be included in the new procedures.

Isn't this the decision for the boarding gate agent, not the flight attendant.
